Duke MMS vs BC MSF
Hey guys,
I got accepted to both Dukes MMS and Boston College MSF yet I am truly lost in which I should pick, Wanted to know your thoughts on which program might give me a better shot towards big 4 advisory/TAS or maybe even consulting (location not really an issue).
Fuqua no doubt has the brand going for it but I am hesitant to go into the MMS program as I already did Business administration in undergrad and might need more financial credibility. Also I hear some very mixed reveiws about the program yet I know Duke is a solid target.
BC MSF seems held in pretty high regard around here and its location doesn hurt either yet the job report statistics might suggest otherwise, yet what do I know. I know BC is a great semi target with a rep on the street but does it compare to duke?
I am fully prepared to hustle my way to a job in any of these programs but will one give me a better chance?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
I would lean heavily towards Duke MMS. I think it's a better brand and is going to give you a better shot at the Big 4. The BC MSF is over 80% international students and I'm not aware they even release career stats.
The job report isn't bad for domestics, I can pm the link anyways.
Why is a lot of internationals in class usually seen as a bad thing though? doesn't that transition to less competition for locals? I thought I could kinda leverage that.
It's not necessarily a bad thing. I just think when the school reports only 15%-20% of the class is searching for jobs it's a little strange. The entire point of a 1 year masters should be job placement. Also on their website they show for 2018 only 15 students going for jobs and only 73% placement 3 months after graduation. Doesn't seem like there's much of a career focus there. BC is good for undergrad, the ranking drops off significantly for graduate studies.
